Now in its third year of business, Mosquito Squad of the Lowcountry serves residents throughout the area. Mary Anna Lewis offers the following tips for eliminating mosquitoes from local yards:

1. Tip. Reduce standing water to eliminate mosquito threats, including those underneath and around downspouts, in plant saucers and dog bowls.

5. Treat. Utilize a mosquito elimination barrier treatment around the home and yard. Using a barrier treatment at home reduces the need for using DEET-containing bug spray. Mosquito Squad’s eliminates up to 90% of the mosquitoes and ticks on a property.

Rockin’ on the porch, touch football games and grilling out are Lowcountry fall traditions. Mosquito Squad, North America’s largest and most trusted mosquito elimination and tick control brand, is ready to help Lowcountry residents make the time they spend outside even more enjoyable.

Mosquito Squad has been named as one of the country’s fastest growing franchise concepts in 2012 and 2011 by INC. Magazine. “We recognized the opportunity to finally bring an affordable, effective answer to an age-old question in our area-how do we get rid of mosquitoes? We love telling people we have a 100% percentsatisfaction/money-back guarantee because folks can use us completely risk-free.’

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the country’s first case of West Nile Virus was reported in Mississippi in early April. Last year, 5,387 cases of West Nile were reported with 243 deaths. West Nile is spread only via the bite of an infected mosquito. Incidents of Lyme disease, spread via ticks, have increased as well, with more than 32,000 confirmed and probable cases reported in 2012, up from 22,000 in 2011. Dogs are also susceptible to Lyme disease.
